No, it doesn't alter the structure. It just loads the latest beta version from source other Pragma. New structure is a standard now.
Furthermore, you don't need setuptex.bat to run Context after this installation. The installer sets all critically required variables in registry (may not all, 'cause I've tested it only for luatex).

My installer doesn't work with MikTeX. Theoretically it is possible, but in practice, solution will be fuzzy and unreliable. I don't want to bother with it, considering that you can always use Context in an old way, without installing it. This is the best (and only) way to use it in parallel with MikTex and TexLive.

Hmm... Selects folder, downloads (or updates) distribution files, sets environment vars, and ... exits.
